I like your style hombre, but this is no laughing matter. Assault on a police officer. Theft of police property. Illegal possession of a firearm. FIVE counts of attempted murder. That comes to... 29 dollars and 40 cents. Cash, cheque, or credit card?

Have we actually traveled ANY distance since the sprained shoulder? Or are we still sitting in the same spot?

Slow down. Let’s make some progress at least. Also, we can’t keep using alcohol because our brave leader is almost certainly ready to start chugging it 24/7 while waiting for the next crisis.

A few miles. The cholera and sprained wrist happened simultaneously.

Compared to everything else that is happening to this apparently cursed wagon group, a sprained wrist is nothing. Continue as usual.

Immobilize the joint Then bathe his feet in warm water.

But lets see what Dr. Gunn says:

quote:

Sprains. — A sprain, technically called subluxation or partial dislocation, is an injury of a joint — most commonly that of the wrist or ankle. Though not really a dislocation, it is often more painful and troublesome, requiring longer time to recover from, than a dislocation or fracture. A sprain is caused by a severe twist or straining of the joint in any direction farther than its natural range of motion, thus stretching and sometimes tearing or bruising the ligaments, and the surrounding soft parts, or muscles, and in bad cases, of the capsular ligament itself.

Treatment : The first indication is to allay inflammation. If there is much swelling, frequent applications of warm water should be made, with bandages, or the hot fomentation of bitter herbs. A warm poultice of wheat-bran and hops, with a little vinegar, is very good. After thus reducing the inflammation and swelling somewhat, an excellent application is the leaves of wormwood and hops simmered in vinegar, with say a tablespoonful of salt to a pint of the liquid, and applied, warm or cold, by means of flannel bandages. Follow this treatment with the application of any good stimulating and relaxing liniment, such as the Rheumatic Liniment, California Liniment, or Eclectic or Arnica Liniment, as mentioned in the Recipe Department of this work.

Also, the section on Cholera is about 12 pages, so I'm not copying it, but basically, for treatment, he says there are a number of treatments that can work sometimes. The main danger, he points out is diarrhea, and he has a number of potential treatments. A mixture with gum arabic can work. So can ground red pepper and salt in water. A Dutch doctor recommends sulphur. A mixture of spirits of camphor, spirits of turpentine and laudanum can work. Some recommend chloroform. Others, lead acetate. An army doctor recommends a gruel made from corn meal, along with a lot of water and ice. Ultimately, though, there's no one established treatment. Just try to keep them warm, hydrated, and treat the diarrhea, and they'll either die or recover.

BTW, disclaimer from me, even though I think everybody is smart enough to know this. Don't try the treatments in this book. See a real doctor. Especially don't eat lead acetate or drink turpentine or camphor. They will kill you. You want to drink a mixture of salt and red pepper in water, though, knock yourself out. It probably won't do much for your cholera.

Exercise the joint. So when this game was made in the 90s, the right answer was probably immobilize the joint. However that all got thrown out and in 2019, you want to get exercising that joint as soon as possible so you dont lose range of motion and strength, or even worse, a frozen joint.

Amazingly, our travels manage to go smoothly for once after taking care of the sprain! We make it all the way past the Coast of Nebraska and stop at a creek.

But it looks like we only have about 45 pounds of dried vegetables left and no guarantee of how many forts or missions even exist in 1840, so it's time to forage!
